We are thrilled to welcome you to one of the Southeast’s largest and most beloved arts celebrations. This year’s festival is packed with creativity, color, and community spirit.
As you stroll through downtown Ocean Springs,
you’ll discover more than 400 artists and crafters from
across the nation at this year’s event, each bringing
their unique talent, style, and story to share with you.
Throughout the festival grounds, you’ll also enjoy live
music sprinkled across multiple areas adding to the energy and excitement all weekend long.
Be sure to stop by our Blue Moon sponsored “Paint Your Pint” activation station, a fun interactive creation brought to you by our presenting sponsors and F.E.B. Distributing Company.
We pride ourselves on making this festival one of the best for everyone to enjoy. So much so, we are honored that the Peter Anderson Arts & Crafts Festival is now recognized as one of the top 50 festivals in the nation—a remarkable recognition for our small town.
Our local businesses are proud to welcome you and are grateful to have this incredible event bringing thousands of visitors to our community each year. Hopefully, you will find your next favorite printed piece, fall in love with a new artist booth, and support the local shops that help our community thrive.
Thank you for being here and for supporting the arts, our local businesses, and the creative spirit that makes Ocean Springs shine. We wish you a wonderful festival experience filled with inspiration, connection, and plenty of fun!
